Pris au piège entre ces superpuissances élémentales, les humains et leurs alliés ildirans cherchent désespérément une planche de salut. Le président Wenceslas et le jeune roi Peter doivent rassembler l'espèce humaine sous l'autorité de la Hanse, quitte à employer la force... Mais les Vagabonds et les Theroniens ne veulent céder leur indépendance à aucun prix. De son coté, Jora'h, le nouveau Mage Imperator, affronte une rébellion au sein même de l'Empire ildiran. Au milieu de ces tempêtes, un homme qu'on croyait mort réapparaît après avoir subi une transformation inimaginable. Il est accompagné par une quatrième force élémentale qui pourrait sauver l'humanité : les wentals. Mais ce fragile espoir sera ébranlé par une nouvelle trahison - encore plus brutale que les précédentes...

Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Issue Zero - Pulphouse, #0

Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P. I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang-including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina-are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight . or at least attached. Alvina's singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells. A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for "gender neutral" to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him. Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire-her on-again, off-again suitor-disappears without a trace. A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply. A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well. There is much at stake in the Unnatural Quarter, and it's up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don't solve themselves!This zombie detective puts the P. I. back in R. I. P.
